Michael Ferns is a class act

Last week in the St. Clairsville HS football game, No. 10 Michael Ferns took off on a 52 yard run and intentionally ran out of bounds at the 1 yard line. He did this so another player on his team could score the touchdown.

Logan Thompson just lost his father during the week. So he was brought on to take the one yard plunge through a huge hole to the end zone to score in his father's memory.

This has to be one of the most unselfish acts I can ever recall in high school sports.

Kudos to Ferns for being a good teammate. Kudos to Hoke and company for recruiting true future Michigan Men.

in college football has a healthy amount of good kids on their squad. I have felt for years and years, however, that Michigan truly does have an inordinate amount associated with their program. This is yet another great example.

U of IL in 2009. shudder. I was at that game and died inside that day.

Kudos to Ferns though, that was a classy move. Even more kudos to his HS coach if that was something he told him to do before the game if he had the opportunity. And kudos to Hoke for recruiting Ferns. Kudos all around!

When you find it hard to use other words beyond tradition, history, passion etc about why we love this team so much, examples like these are perfect. This is the stuff that makes me root for a guy like kovacs more then BWC. Love big will but damn work ethic thats been there from day one with jordan is what Umich football means to me.
